In HARK! Luísa Saraiva and Senem Gökçe Oğultekin approach their love and interest in baroque music. With singing bodies, they build a relationship with the audience that turns sound into an experience and allows immersion in music. You hear what you see and see what you hear. The song leaves traces in the room, traces of sounding bodies. HARK! - Listen! Henry Purcells »Hail! Bright Cecilia« and Nicholas Brady's libretto are used to search for an acoustic body that hears, receives, reverberates and produces an echo.
Luísa Saraiva has an M.A. in psychology from the University of Porto and a B. A. dance from Folkwang University of Arts. Her work Hochwasser was selected for Danse Élargie Seoul Edition in 2016. In 2017 she was a scholar of the 1-year program for Artistic Individual Development from the MKW of NRW. As a part of her research she collaborated with Lea Letzel in the creation A Concert, with which they won the NRW Kultursekretariat prize Ground Support in 2018.
Her research for the residency focuses primarily on the relationship between movement and language as simultaneous meaning-making processes. There is an interest in reading and interpreting movement through the use of sung, spoken and written language and on the development of a speaking, thinking body. She will take as a departure point Henry Purcell’s work Hail! Bright Cecilia and use it as a physical score to explore a sonic approach to bodily presence.
Senem Gökçe Oğultekin is performer, choreographer and moviemaker. She studied dancing at the Folkwang University of Arts in Essen which she completed with the prize of Josef and Else Classen Foundation. She worked with artists like VA Wölfl, Meg Stuart, Laurent Chétouane, Mara Tsironi (a.o.). Her choreographic film Dun / Home was selected by Istanbul Modern Museum for Artist's Film International 2019 from Whitechapel Gallery London and has been shown in renowned galleries and museums around the world. In 2020 Senem Gökce Ogultekin was awarded the culture prize of the Allbau Foundation. By using multimedia, dance, body research, improvisation and vocal work, Senem Gökçe Oğultekin creates hybrid works which play with the boundaries of art categories.
